Neuroprotective effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate against N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced excitotoxicity in the adult rat retina
Abstract. Purpose: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major polyphenol of green tea, has been suggested to reduce glutamate excitotoxicity. We therefore investigated the potentially protective effects of EGCG against N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-induced excitotoxicity in the retina. Methods: Fema...
